Getting objectively worse? I don't know about that... Poverty is decreasing, less hunger in the world, more access to education, better technology for healthcare, more convenience with electronic technology.

I mean socially speaking, I miss the days or talking over the phone before smart phones, social media and online dating.

I think it's all in the mindset. I do actually think life is getting a little bit better globally, but even if it's not, you can be part of that change to make it better, or at least your life better. You have to stay positive for you, your family and friends. We are all suffering in our own ways. Some more than others. But we aren't alone. We just have to communicate.

Unfortunately I live in America where healthcare, at least for me, is completely inaccessible. I really don't give a shit about medical tech increasing since I'm never going to benefit from it, especially since I desperately need both physical and mental health treatment.

Electronics are becoming boring and unexciting. I really don't care about "convenience" because it's all so redundant. Nobody needs a Roomba or a Ring camera or a million different "smart" things.

I cannot make my own life better, let alone anyone else's. I used to always be optimistic and think I would go on to do great things and change the world, but I don't care anymore. I suppose it's difficult for me to reconcile with the fact that I'm just one human among 8 billion, and there's nothing special about me. I don't deserve anything.
